Chapter 342 Panic

Now it was Mr. Chambers’ turn to be surprised.

He could sense others’ polite but desperate eyes if he offered them with the equivalent conditions as
with Madeleine. However, it seemed that Madeleine really didn’t want to have relation with the
Chambers family.

“Helena always keeps her promise. She is sincere about recognizing you as her god-daughter. Having
relation with the Chambers family didn’t sound good, but would bring unexpected benefit. Others can’t
even get this chance if they want. Are you sure you don’t want it?” Mr. Chambers asked tentatively.

Madeleine smiled.

She may seem a bit restraint in front of Mr. Chambers, but she really had a pair of forthright eyes.

“Uncle, what I am going to say may be direct. To be honest, I don’t want to have relation with the
Chambers family. If you son didn’t marry Ophelia, I also didn’t approve her to. The Chambers family is
wealthy and powerful, but also sophisticated. Me and Ophelia come from ordinary family. We used to
be glad when we can spend a thousand to buy a beautiful dress. However, although having delicacy
and elegant clothes, our safety would face great danger. Ophelia’s emergent situation in the operation
room in front of us is the best proof.”

Then she waited for a while and went on saying, “I thought I could only see plots like car accident in the
novel, but I never expected that it happened before me. To be honest, I am repulsive about the
Chambers family after so many things happened to Ophelia.”

She smiled awkwardly, “Uncle, just regard me as being young and naïve. I said some words directly
without further thinking. Maybe because of Ophelia, I hold a biased attitude about the Chambers family.



Mr. Chambers shook his head and remarked, “No, I think you are a sincere person. I really admire your
temperament. You are similar with Ophelia. Maybe because of traditional thought on family
background, I do have treated Ophelia unjustly. Now she is hanged between life and death in the
operation room. I have inflected on myself and found I do have owed her in many ways.”

Madeleine showed a complex look.

Staring at the words “In operation”, Mr. Chambers suddenly said when sighing, “The children will have
their own lives. As long as Ophelia can get well, I won’t interrupt her marriage with Zachariah. I am
really in an awkward dilemma after interfering too much.”

Madeleine smiled and found Mr. Chambers’ behaviour was a bit cute. At lease he was not as awful as
she thought.

Zachariah came back with three bowls of porridge with pork livers and lean meat and several hot
steamed buns. He handed two of them to Mr. Chambers and Madeleine and then asked, “Dad, where
is mom?”

Mr. Chambers handed over the porridge and replied, “Ophelia has delivered a baby boy and she came
to check him.”

Zachariah’s hands, which were holding the porridge bag, trembled slightly. He felt his heart was being
stricken and the blood moved faster in his body. He had a mixture of feelings, sweet, satisfied…It
seemed all feelings were gathered in his chest, making him feel fulfilled.

He was stupefied by the feeling of suddenly truly becoming a father. The sense of satisfaction made
him hard to control his expression.

Madeleine looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong, Zachariah? Are you not happy for having a baby
boy?”



Zachariah finally returned to his mind.

“Where is Ophelia?” He asked. He subconsciously put Ophelia’s safety in the first place.

Madeleine’s expression was finally not so terrible.

Zachariah was a man with morality. He was not delighted to care about his son in the first time and
forgot about Ophelia’s health, otherwise, no matter how hard you tried, I would not let you be with
Ophelia. Madeleine thought.

“She is still in the operation room. We’re not quite sure what happen inside.” Madeleine lowered her
voice. She then looked at the porridge in her hands and found it hard to eat it.

Time the operation spent was too long and made people get more and more desperate when waiting
outside.

Zachariah showed a terrible expression and said, “Eat something. Ophelia must think I have bullied you
when wakening up and finding you have a terrible look.”

Madeleine nodded and ate a mouthful of porridge. She didn’t have the energy to argue with Zachariah.
Ophelia’s condition made her feel extremely heavy and she couldn’t taste any flavour from the porridge
because of great concern.

Zachariah, on the other hand, stared at the operation room with lips compressing tightly. The
satisfaction for him to be a father gradually faded. As if a piece was missing deep in his heart, he hurt
so much like the most important thing was going to slip away from his hands, which made him
extremely panicked.
